1. Muslim friends of mine, especially the one who runs Muslims for America on Facebook.

2. Mostly from friends and from r/Islam. I've read some Quran, but not much.

3. I would be curious to hear their thoughts on how Islam can address the issues present in predominantly-Muslim cultures, where religious fundamentalists often co-opt Islam to commit atrocious crimes. These are no more Islamic than murder is Christian (despite the crusades), but at the same time it is doubtful that non-Muslims can do much to influence change. So, what can Muslims do and what WILL they do to ostracize the people who commit crimes in the name of Muhammad (PBUH) and God?
